Heheh... Yeah, more of just the kids sort of comparing notes and trying to figure out where to go from here. Do hope folks have been enjoying this, since I love having the kids all bounce off each other like this. ^^ Lore explaining the Night-Terror to Andy, Grant geeking out over the insanity of being a super-hero, and Nicky and Valerie intentionally ticking each other off are all highlights.

One of my favorite comic runs, which was almost certainly an influence on Blues, was the Morrison-written JLA run. There's a great moment where the JLA have stopped a bunch of fallen angels from invading Earth, and Green Lantern (Kyle Rayner, always my favorite) talks about how great it is when you have that moment of stepping back and realizing just how awesome this job is. That's what I was tapping into with the penultimate panel. The next villain they fight could be the boogeyman. THAT'S how crazy their lives are and it's awesome. ^^

There's a fair chance we won't see Rick's group again in this chapter, though Wilma giving him a lollipop is a cute thing to end on if we don't see him again. I think they probably made the Blues kids GET him that lollipop in exchange for contacting Martina on their behalf.

Jake mentioning the Night Terror was already a thing when he was a kid goes way back. Shows how long I've been waiting to spring this idea. Actually, at one point I was gonna include a reference as early as the first chapter but it got cut.

This one had some weird last-minute problems around it, specifically due to me having just set up my new computer; I didn't have the color references for everyone's hair brightness to do that part and it was being ridiculously slow to upload to Discord for some reason, so this one only really had the shading finished by Adam very last minute. Probably the biggest complication that will come out of this at least.

Funny thing is I actually can kind of see a few ways we could bring Rick's crew back into the fold later in the chapter, though it's kind of such a cluttered chapter that's likely to run long that I can see it sort of shaking out either way. Still got a lot of ground to cover and a lot of characters we're wanting to see pop up during this.

Funny enough Wilma's probably the biggest problem this computer switch is going to give me; I'm going to have to remake the template I use for her color scheme.
